Three Atlanta men who met at bible study class will launch a new brand of beer later this year. The trio has been testing beer recipes on friends at Monday night tasting sessions for the past three years. If successful, it will be only the fifth microbrewery in Georgia.
On a Monday night in April, Jonathan Baker is standing over a steel keg, stirring grain for the India Pale Ale he's brewing that night. Occasionally he pours out some of the unfermented beer mixture to test. "We're rinsing the milled grain on this stainless steel keg. And we are bringing it up to boil in the brew kettle," Baker said.
Baker, who works in marketing, started Monday Night Brewing with two friends from his church three years ago. One of the friends is Jeff Heck, who says at first they brewed beer just for fun.
One City's Aging Tree Canopy

Most major cities have nicknames but few refer to flora and fauna. Atlanta, sometimes known as the City in the Forest, is a notable exception. But the city's lush tree cover is increasingly under assault from man and nature.

Most major cities have nicknames but few refer to flora and fauna. Atlanta, sometimes known as the City in the Forest, is a notable exception. But the city's lush tree cover is increasingly under assault from man and nature.
Walking through Grant Park with Greg Levine of the group Trees Atlanta, it's easy to find dead and dying trees.
Looking at the red and white oaks, he can identify symptoms of decline. On one tree, he spots large growths.
"These giant, like, mushrooms are growing on the root systems," Levine said. "They are bigger than a frisbee. It's some kind of root rot."
